I had foolishly plugged the CPU pump power cable into the SSD thinking it only powered the lights and the system would shut off after a little while after being on, so I just unplugged my storage drive and replaced it with that for the time being since I need the data from my boot drive.) Now it's booting up with the SSD in, but nothing I do, no matter how far I get, enables me to be able to install Windows 10 into this thing. One of them I have to use for my CPU pump because I don't have a fan and/or a RGB controller hub.

(My SATA power connector only has three ports. At first, I couldn't get the system to boot up with the SSD, but I got that working. I decided I was tired of my current installation of Windows 10, as I had had the drive for years with it on there and the installation was corrupted to all heck with no hope of a fix. It sat in the packaging for a little while on my shelf until I was able to get to tinkering with my PC given it was all I had to work on college work, and I wanted to wait until I had a proper laptop to start working on it in case things went wrong, which in this case, they did. I ordered directly from the Samsung website and it came early. I've been trying my hardest this entire week to get this Samsung 870 EVO 1 TB working.
